[ineRobo] Notice of Completion of Initial Fundraising via DPO

Overview ineRobo Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and CEO: Goshi Katagiri) announces that it has completed fundraising through a DPO (Direct Public Offering).

Background In recent years, the soaring price of rice has become a major social issue. While the demand for rice is decreasing due to population decline and dietary diversification, the aging of rice farmers has led to a rapid increase in abandoned farmland, causing the supply capacity to drop at a faster rate than the decline in demand. The future where Japan as a whole constantly lacks rice is becoming a reality. Our company was established in October 2025 with the thought that 'we must avoid a future where Japan can no longer be self-sufficient in rice.' Under the philosophy of 'bringing cutting-edge technology precisely to small-scale agriculture,' our company will provide solutions that combine field-implementable robots and an operating platform. There are many small-scale paddy fields in Japan that cannot be upscaled. By utilizing small robots that can adapt to such environments to promote mechanization and labor-saving, and by building a system to maintain rice farming, we aim to contribute to the improvement of the rice self-sufficiency rate, as well as the enhancement of regional sustainability and land conservation. Furthermore, to implement this system in society, we have formed a business alliance with tmsuk Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and Chairman: Yoichi Takamoto), whose main business is robot development, to strengthen our cooperation. At tmsuk, they produce rice flour called 'Raiko,' made from rice cultivated using the rice-farming robot flock 'Raicho Series' in paddy fields in Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture, and our company has started selling it via e-commerce (the EC site STORES is here). Also, as part of our BtoB expansion, a collaboration with 'Akasaka Toda,' a long-established traditional Japanese restaurant in Akasaka, has been realized.

About this Fundraising In order to tackle the urgent issue of rice shortage with a sense of speed and to achieve continuous development, our company has decided to raise funds this time by issuing shares through a public offering procedure known as a DPO (Direct Public Offering). DPO is a fundraising method where a company directly recruits shares without going through financial institutions. It is an optimal method for small and medium-sized enterprises to gather shareholders who share their business philosophy and direction and can accompany them on a long-term basis, and it has been gaining attention in recent years as one of the fundraising methods. This time, under the guidance of specialized certified public accountants...
